Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

If you are craving another twist on a cookie cupcake – you might want to try snickerdoodle cupcakes. It is a blend of cinnamon and sugar in a sweet cupcake. Bakerella has made some really cute snickerdoodle cupcakes using this very same recipe from Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes book.

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2c. sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat and stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Boil without stirring until candy thermometer reaches 230 degrees.
2. While boiling, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 2 Tbs. of sugar while mixer is running. When the sugar mixture reaches 230 degrees, pour slowly down the side of the bowl into the mixer. Mix on medium-low. Raise to medium-high and mix until the frosting is cool and stuff peaks form (about 7 minutes). Hence the name!
3. Use right away because this gets stiff and sticky to use very fast.
